Japan just killed its future economic prospect once China and South Korea start using cheaper Russian energy bought with appreciating currencies. Japan one the other hand will be stuck with oil and gas shipped half way across the world from the Middle East, bought with a depreciating currency...

Student in tears after being kicked out of iPhone 6 queue I don't know what's worse, the crazy Chinese Apple girl....or the rude Chinese profiteers scrambling to sell to even more fanatical people in China. Same thing is also happening here in Canada: iPhone 6: RCMP called to control line-up...

I'm not calling them liars is just that I've known some teachers as well and their pay is far higher than the teachers you know. I guess it could be provincial differences, the two I know best live in Alberta and British Columbia. I think Quebec do have bad pay for teachers but that province is...

Are you talking about private school or public school? Canadian public school teacher earns a starting salary of at least $45,000 a year and only goes up from there. If go to some rural "middle of no where" northern provinces to teach the pay goes up to $70,000+. And all this is including the...

Germany does not have infinite money so the best they could do is to keep all these debtor EU states on life support. This ends up undermining EU even faster because countries like Greece and Spain is being kept at a state where they get just enough money to service debt but never have any...

I could believe that they're not paid that well, but not respected? Out of all the countries in the world I would say Chinese teachers are in the top three when it comes to respect, along with South Korea and Japan. If they want to see no respect come here to North America where our teachers...

It is not exactly a good thing unless China can find more use of that money that does not involve property speculation all over the world or just parking it in US treasuries. I guess it is one step better than the other export giant Germany wasting its export money on US military ventures and...

It's mostly because the world economy and especially Europe's is slowing down so a lot of commodities became unprofitable to mine. Practically the entire commodity sector was in the dump these past few years, so it is not just China's investment that is doing horribly. The smart thing to do now...

I trust Euromaidan Press as much as I trust the Epoch Times for Chinese news and Fox News for social commentary. As in, not at all.

It isn't any worse than the mainland Chinese billionaires, who always seem to have to make a huge show every time donate, if they are not being extremely stingy and never donate. And here in North America we have our tax avoidance and religious spreading disguised as "donations". Most truly...

NO...keep them AWAY from here. I do not want people that come and go at a whim and never has true loyalty to any country. I am still pissed at some of the first wave of HKers where we fast tracked their immigration to "rescue" them from evil China in 1997 only for them to do their business in...

I think the incompetent Japanese politicians and the South Koreans are already doing a fine job killing the Japanese economy without China needing to lift a finger.

So basically Russia exempted Finland, the cheapest food items, and seeds for its own farmers. Make sense, as that'll limit the damage to Russia while EU farmers would still bleed money from all the other stuff...and the neutral Finland would be immune.

Not much different from the Americans always trying to bring their guns with them here and then make a huge fuss when they are punished..."I didn't know!", "The punishment is too harsh for an honest mistake!", and the most ridiculous "The border guards could have just turned them back!". Or...

How can Poland be called a rising star when it is still reliant on "I love West and hate Russia, so give me jobs and investments please?" as an economic strategy. The Asian rising stars (Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, South Korea) all developed their own world class industries, financed...

If that maps is accurate then I feel sorry for the Greek, selling off their country and throwing themselves at the feet of EU / IMF only to have any hope of a recovery crushed by a crazy country with even worse financials committing suicide just to spite Russia.

I'm surprised that no one brought up South Korea. They did not sanction Russia either. Considering that the South Koreans were already winning over a lot of Germany and Japan's lower end customers this sanction is the last thing they need right now.

Just nationalize the industry altogether and invoke national security law already. China seriously isn't communist enough when they need to be and is too communist when they don't need to be. Ditch some of those inefficient manufacturing companies and use the money to create state owned RE...

Asian airlines are probably preparing to have a party in their offices right now....and they already have some of the most profitable (and best) airlines in the world (excluding Malaysia's).

Really? But I thought Turkey hated Russia, not to mention how it would ruin their plan to join the European Union. We all saw what happened to that one country that tried to straddle (and leech off) both.
